SUMMARY:Jeannie Zandi ~ Gratitude
DESCRIPTION:Join Jeannie to explore the authentic impulse to gratitude that rises in the full heart\, as well as how gratitude can be used gently to open to the blessing of being alive. \nJeannie’s gift for inviting people to join her in resting and rooted presence evokes a deep meeting with oneself and reality. Within that\, Jeannie’s humor and iconoclasm serve to bring people into an understanding that is beyond the intellectual. Through silent and guided meditation\, spontaneous talks and exchange with participants\, Jeannie will host a space of clarity and warmth where the richness of relating can be explored safely and your innermost questions met fully. \nJeannie Zandi is the director of Living as Love\, a nonprofit organization dedicated to seeding a culture of the Heart on the planet\, inspiring\, teaching and supporting people to live from their essence as Love. A year before the birth of her daughter\, Jeannie was plunged into a dark night of the soul that culminated in a radical shift of consciousness. She is known for her fearless clarity\, tender mercy toward humanness\, and a juicy\, poetic and often humorous style that draws from Advaita Vedanta\, Sufism\, Christian mysticism and the ongoing revelation of fully engaged living. \nwww.jeanniezandi.com \nSuggested donation: $15 to $40\nNo one turned away for lack of funds.\nPlease register early if you can. \nREGISTER \nThe event will be recorded and emailed to participants within a week.\nTo check your local time\, use a tool such as: Time Zone Converter

SUMMARY:Lisa Schumacher ~ Your True Nature ~ In-Person Local Event
DESCRIPTION:A meeting with Lisa is an opportunity to step away from your day to day life and devote time for self-inquiry into the heart of the truth. There will be a few moments of silence to start the meeting and then Lisa will speak and invite the community to share reports about their lives and questions. \nWatch Lisa’s invitation to fully be who you are: \n\nLisa Schumacher: Lisa grew up in Colusa\, CA\, and attended college at San Luis Obispo in the 1980’s. After she moved to Southern Oregon in the early 90s\, a friend invited her to a video satsang with Gangaji. Upon hearing Gangaji say “Be your Natural Self”\, Lisa’s heart caught on fire and she fell into a deep bow of surrender. That meeting revealed to her the absolute simplicity of the natural\, living truth of Love\, inseparable from who one is. Lisa moved to Bolinas in 1999 to be closer to Gangaji and the vibrant community around her. In 2006\, Lisa was asked by Gangaji to meet with people and share Satsang. She has held meetings in Europe\, Australia\, New Zealand and North America. She’s also a long-time student of Eli Jaxon-Bear\, Gangaji’s husband\, and a founding teacher of the Eli’s “Leela School of Awakening”. Lisa is the author of “The Stone I Love”\, a book of poetry inspired by Gangaji\, available on her website and for purchase at the gathering. \nIn Lisa’s meetings\, she invites you to sit close and inquire about your awakening\, your spiritual questions\, and the unfolding truth. The teaching is in the tradition of Gangaji\, who is a student of Papaji\, who had his awakening at the feet of Ramana Maharshi. \nLisa’s website: satsangwithlisa.org\nThe satsang includes a meditation\, comments by the speaker\, then Q&A and discussion.\nSatsang: 2-4 pm\nRefreshments: until 5 \nSuggested Donation:  $10- $20\, no one turned away.\nNo pre-registration. Pay at door when you arrive. \nLocation: 8476 Sonoma Ave\, Sebastopol\, CA. Park on Sonoma Ave.\nNote: The address sign says 8474/8476.  Park on the street\, and walk down the short driveway to the house with the carport.\nPlease arrive 10-15 minutes early.\nPlease dress warmly\, doors & windows will be open! \nIf you have symptoms of a viral infection\, or have had a recent\nCovid exposure or positive test\, please stay home out of consideration for others.
